Mediterranean braised lamb and couscous
Heat a large saucepan and gently fry the onion in a little olive oil for 10 minutes. Add the diced lamb, the garlic, red pepper and tomato puree. Stir in the tomato base sauce, or tinned tomatoes, water and basil. Add salt to taste cover with a lid or a couple of tight layers of foil, then simmer on a low heat for around 1½ hours or transfer into a deep baking tin cover with foil and finish cooking it in the oven at 150 C/300 F/gas 2 for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.Tip the dry couscous into a serving tin. Then pour the boiling vegetable stock on to the couscous - it should just cover it. Leave to stand for 10 minutes and then fluff up with a fork just before serving.
Serve the lamb with couscous and a mixed leaf salad.
From the School Dinners pack

Very tasty but a couple of warnings.
It feeds 2 adults or 4 very small children.
400ml water is too much, you'll need to take off the lid and reduce. 275ml more accurate.

This is dynamite jamie!
I added a fresh green chilli to spice it up. I find if I cook it one day before it's even nicer.
It's just the job to come home to after work on a wet Sydney evening.
Keep up the good work. all the best
